Welch Hall Construction

The West portion of the 1929 (north) wing of Welch Hall is beginning a renovation. Access to the Mallet Library during the construction is from the east/south wing only (Speedway side). Doors into WEL from 24th Street and the alleyway between WEL and PAI will be closed for the duration, as will the 1929 wing restrooms and elevator. Construction noise may be an issue in the library from time to time. The library will be open normal hours throughout the project, which will be completed by fall 2016.

50 Years Ago: Cyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl synthesis

In early 1965 researchers working under UT chemistry professor Rowland Pettit reported the landmark synthesis of this iron complex of cyclobutadiene, which for the first time was shown to have aromatic properties. It opened a fruitful period of exploration in the quest to create the elusive cyclobutadiene in its free state. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 87, 1965, 131-2.)
